Tiffany + Jakob - Hobart engagement session

While I was in Hobart recently I squeezed in this Oh So Perfect engagement/family session. It was an early start, but worth it! The Tassie light is especially magical at this time of the day.

Tiffany and Jakob have recently relocated to Tasmania with their little family - Johnny and Lola, and are living in an absolutely stunning 160 year old home in Hobart. They are "unofficially" engaged as Jakob has asked a few times but Tiff hasn't actually said yes yet! She is choosing to wear her late grandmother's engagement ring though so I think this is a sealed deal. Plus - LOOK AT THEM TOGETHER 😍

We wanted the session to be as relaxed as possible and therefore decided to capture the morning routine. This is what we got up to...

 

Liz & Adam - Lyrebird Falls Wedding

Liz and Adam got married on Friday at Lyrebird Falls in Kallista. Both bride and groom began their day with nervous anticipation, but once they spotted each other as Liz walked down the aisle, they were smiling from ear to ear. While we didn’t get any sunshine trickling through the trees for photos, we had the always beautiful backdrop of the Conservation Reserve…and a fun bridal party to ensure there was never a dull moment.
Adam and Liz told me that most of their nerves were to do with their first dance. They had been having lessons and decided on a quite technical routine with two lifts. They absolutely nailed it!

Laura & Shane - Forest Edge Wedding

Laura and Shane married on Saturday at Forest Edge Restaurant surrounded by friends and family. Many of them travelling from overseas and interstate for the special occasion.
They selected one very special friend each to have by their side on the day, and included family in their ceremony to make it extra special. Laura was escorted down the aisle by her twin brothers, and it was clear that they adore their big sister.
It was a wonderful party from beginning to end with the dancing starting even before the entrees were finished being served! The dance floor was only evacuated to listen to speeches, otherwise it was occupied all night long.
Shane and Laura opted for a sparkler exit and spent a couple of days with their international guests before they head off on their honeymoon tomorrow. Have a great time!

Lucia & Nick - Macedon Ranges Wedding

Lucia and Nick married on Saturday at Lucia’s most favourite place in the world – the property were she grew up, and her parents still reside, in Gisborne.
They wanted nothing more than to get married and have a brilliant party with their friends and family. I overheard Lucia say that she kept seeing all of her favourite people and it was like the best party ever, just for her…and then she remembered that’s exactly what it was – and for Nick as well, of course!
Their ceremony was sweet and simple and Lucia walked down the aisle to the beautiful voices of her sisters. The guests gasped when they began to sing and I don’t think there was a dry eye there!
The reception delivered some hilarious speeches and I imagine many woke with sore cheeks this morning from all of the laughing. It was a truly happy occasion.
Wishing you both all the very best, thank you for having me there!

Katie & Jack - Brunswick Food Store Wedding

Jack and Katie met at Uni. A Melbourne boy and a girl all the way from Drouin.
During their ceremony it was mentioned several times that they wanted to bring people together with their marriage, welcome family and friends into their home and be surrounded by the people they love. It was obvious that they already do this by the fact that they had filled St Hilary’s Church, had many people standing at the back AND had several others in an adjoining room watching on a screen. There was a lot of love for these two.
They enjoyed their first meal together as husband and wife with their guests at The Brunswick Foodstore. An amazing venue with a laid back feel.
Katie and Jack – wishing you both all the best for the future. I hope you have a great week away.

Rochene & Ant - Spirit Station Pier Wedding

On a Friday, these two lovely people got married!
With many travelling from interstate and overseas it made sense to have a Friday wedding so everyone could enjoy a long weekend together.
Antony started the day a little unconventionally by getting a tattoo on his ring finger! With the support of his best man, he was very brave 😉 They met up with Ant’s brothers for a beer before the event.
Rochene enjoyed the company of her bridesmaids, mother and mother-in-law at an apartment in the city before heading to the rooftop for champagne.
The ceremony and reception were held at Spirit Station Pier in Port Melbourne. It was a stunning day, albeit a little windy but Ro’s dress made the most of it by dancing beautifully to the wind during the ceremony.
The couple enjoyed the night by sharing food and laughs with those they love most and they were just happy to have them all together.
It was wonderful wedding and I am so pleased to have been a small part of it.

Chelsey & Dan - Abbotsford Convent Wedding

Oh my, what a wedding!
So they say rain on a wedding day means good luck and longevity for the couple, and rain it absolutely did! I’m certain Chelsey and Daniel are destined for a lifetime of happiness.
I witnessed some of the most beautiful, heartfelt and hilarious vows I have ever heard. The speeches delivered by parents, siblings and friends were more of the same, resulting in tears, roars of laughter and high fives.
Held at the stunning Abbotsford Convent, a venue possibly even more impressive in the rain, was the perfect setting. Dan looked the part in a classic, navy suit and Chelsey stealing the show (and rightfully so) in a gorgeous, vintage, tea length gown.
To two of the most kind and encouraging people I have ever met – Thank You for having me along for the ride and allowing me to photograph one of the most special days of your lives. With so many people to choose from I feel very honoured.
Wishing you the most amazing life together.
